and the people of israel. we will continue to fulfill this mission. the white house is monitoring the situation closely. president biden has been in contact with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for the very latest. let's turn now to fox news correspondent stephanie bennett, who is live in london. good morning, stephanie. good morning jonathan. yeah, more than 300 drones and missiles were intercepted during that attack last night by the israeli defense system, along with their allies. now, iran has reiterated as well, as you mentioned, a warning to israel that if they fight back, they should not respond to this attack because the next steps would be bigger, they claim should that happen. iran also warning washington that backing israeli retaliation would lead to targeting us bases. this, of course, is the islamic republic's first ever direct attack on the jewish state, raising the risk of a broader regional confrontation. the idf says 99% of the drones and missiles that were were shot down before they

the massacre in southern israel. israel started to lose some of its support. you had biden administration officials including the president himself saying american military aid based on their actions inside of gaza. standing clear from iran. the israelis want to maintain that support understanding that this will not be a one-off attack. they will be threatened by and ran again in the future. >> any indication on exactly how israel could respond? could they take out the drone factories that respond to russia to attack and kill ukrainians. could they take out missile sites? what proportion. >> a spectrum of targets for the israelis if they do decide to strike back in iranian territory they make these drones that were used in the attack overnight but also sold and used against the ukrainians. they could target facilities. going after leadership. they could even target iranian nuclear sites. the administration as part of this meeting today is working after a major attack on israel. trying to contain the israelis. the last thing they want to see is an unraveling in

that would cause israel or israel's allies like that u.s. to say okay it is overbroad that it's not going to happen until every drone is a shot down or y hit somewhere on the ground. itis just beginning breed that s not over. one good thing about that this is it. we do not want to escalate let's see what happens as far as what targets are hit. seems to be a week you need statement of i could use that terminology. >> we've lost your audio. jon: we apologize major general retired from the u.s. army, thank you. the middle east on high alert as iran launches the major drone attack on israel but let's bring in fox chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin, what do you have? >> well jon, what is really surprising right now as we are starting to see some of those drones being intercepted by israel's significant missile defense systems. what is unusual and i have never seen before has been engaged over jerusalem. that suggests the drones are flying or in the air. fired missiles at israel it was largely believed no outside country arab o

and the people of israel.is mission. let's speak to british army veteran and chief executive of the intelligence company sibylline, justin crump. thank you forjoining us. from the information that is available, what do we know about what kinds of missiles and drones were sent across by iran? it missiles and drones were sent across b iran? , , ., ., , by iran? it seems to have been somewhat _ by iran? it seems to have been somewhat a — by iran? it seems to have been somewhat a mixture. - by iran? it seems to have been somewhat a mixture. roughlyl by iran? it seems to have been i somewhat a mixture. roughly 170 to 185 drones, and order design at this point, but familiar to people who have seen these operate over ukraine, i am sure in the last couple of years, so familiar to anyone who has been tracking the situation, these are propeller powered, pretty slow and prudent that a majority of what came in. after those much lower flying drones that steadily made their way to israel, around 30 long—range cruise missile

has asked israel to give u.s.ads up and even assay before any decisions are made, not asking questions whether it has been received from the israelis or not but kirby also said today on meet the press that the u.s. will continue to work with prime minister netanyahu advising him and making clear to him that the u.s. will help and continue to defend israel. >> thank you so much. >>> we heard from democratic representative adam smith and seth moulton, this hour up next, we are going to head to capitol hill for more on how the attack is expected to affect congressional plans for the weekend ahead and what that could mean for the legislative agenda. you are watching msnbc. watchin ♪♪ some people just know that the best rate for you is a rate based on you, with allstate. because there's a right way to. stop! and the speed limit definitely isn't. 700 million mph. so why would you pay a rate based on. a terrible boss with a terrible haircut! save with, ooh. save with drivewise and get a rate based on you. you're in good

as israel is under attack from iran, we stand with israel and its people. and the united states will do everything we can to support israel's defense against iran. now, i've said similar things to that, but that's actually a quote from the senate majority leader chuck schumer. as israel is under attack by iran, we stand with the israeli people and do everything week to support israel's defense against iran. the majority leader said basically the same thing on the nation's mall he said he wouldn't sleep until we helped the people of israel. it's been almost 200 days since iranian-backed terrorists attacked israel and brutally killed women, senior citizens and children, since that horrific day on october 7th, i've called for aid to our ally israel with no strings attached on this floor four times. sadly, democrats have blocked our efforts every single time. every time we come forward to have this debate my colleagues on the other side of the aisle stood on the floor and lectured us, why the stand alone is somehow unreasonable. well, what's unreasonable to me,

israel.ust before 3:00 o'clock eastern time around lunch or direct aerial attack against israel. this is in retaliation for a suspected israeli air strike on iran's consulate in syria last week. israeli jets and u.s. forces are now shooting down drones and other weapons that may have emanated from iran and perhaps other places air raid sirens are sounding in jerusalem as explosions were heard in the skies above. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israel will retaliate for any attack on its soil. >> meantime president biden is right now convening with his national security team at the white house. the white house says it is prepared to defend israel and u.s. troops in the region. trey yingst reporting live from tel aviv throughout the evening for us. trade, we know the white house is watching this closely. we know there's a very important phone call that's about to take place. what can you tell us? >> yes good evening. israeli media is reporting is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu

israel.sraeli forces are on high alert and will sound alarms if and when those drones approach israel. trey yingst is live in tel aviv with the latest. trey. >> reporter: yeah, jon, good evening. an unprecedented moment in the middle east. of iran has launched a direct attack against israel. there are dozens of drones in the sky right now headed toward this country. according to our sources, israeli jets have been dispatched, the israelis hoping to hoot down some of these drones -- shoot down some of these drones before they etch reach their air space. moment also comes at a time where american forces are in the region, and they have pledged to help the israelis defend against such an attack that is taking place p. we do understand israeli air space will close in about 30 minutes to commercial aircraft. the jordanians have already issued a notice to airmen, closing their air space. and right now reuters is reporting that the jordanians have declared a state of emergency amid the tension escal

passed aid bill to israel. the president can sign it and get the aid to israel. it's time to show where america stands, is it with iran and hamas or israel? it has to be one or the other. it can't be both. as for me and my colleagues, we choose israel. time and again, we see others stand with israel. my message to my colleagues is that actions speak louder than words. we're tired of hearing the pro-israeli lip service while blocking every effort to help israel in its time of need. history will not forget this. let's do the right thing. as if in legislative session and notwithstanding rule 22, i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to the immediate consideration of calendar 241, h.r. 6126, i ask that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: is there objection? mrs. murray: i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard.

it's a big deal with israel and it could end israel within a minute. it's a big deal. they are making moves right now it's because they have to. >> you've got israel which is 7 million jews surrounded by 200 million arabs and muslims. people say that the israelis are the oppressors and yet they are surrounded by 200 million people. i want to go back if we can to the ground in tel aviv. what are you learning? it's about 15 or 20 minutes since we last talked to you. have you learned anything or are you hearing anything? we now know that there is daylight behind you. >> as the sun comes up here in israel we continue to gather more information about what took plays overnight across the middle east. iranian state media starting to provide some confirmation about the activity in their country overnight. indicating that there were indeed explosions in this province that sits just south of the iranian capital. they claim that air defence was active over iranian territory. what is significant here is that the iranians are indicating something took place. the israelis have not y

on israel. at the same time, we do think de-escalation is key and our message to all, including israel, is that the escalations is important. our secretary is currently in italy to speak with his g-7 counterparts and they will be focusing on that. >> i take it that the uk government was not given any prior warnings of an attack, given what you've said. >> i would not be privy to that so the answer is, i don't know. i think it's important to recognize this is an emerging story and that these are unconfirmed reports. >> and you talk about the need for de-escalation. president biden told benjamin netanyahu to take the win after israel succeeded in shooting down the vast majority of the projectiles tamed by iran. the uk, as referenced, has urged restraint. would you support israel if it were to be confirmed? >> i don't want to get into hypotheticals because the question you've asked beggs and many other questions as to what form that retaliation may or may not have taken. the overarching message is

in israel's defence. a member of israel's war cabinet, benny gantz, warns israel will retaliate. translation: faced with the threat of iran, we translation: faced with the threat of iran. we will— translation: faced with the threat of iran, we will build _ translation: faced with the threat of iran, we will build a _ translation: faced with the threat of iran, we will build a regional- of iran, we will build a regional coalition and collect the prize from iran in a way and at a time that suits us. the us warns it doesn't want the crisis to escalate into a wider war, but says it's up to israel, how to respond. it says it won't take part in any attack on iran. in tehran, supporters of the iranian government celebrate the attack. iran warns israel not to retaliate and says it has no intention of prolonging operations. this is the scene live injerusalem. benjamin netanyahu's war cabinet has met. the region is at a dangerous crossroads. welcome to bbc news. israel is warning that it will retaliate after iran fired a huge barrage of drones and missiles at israel. the israelis say that

that was israel's ambassador, _ muslims. that was israel's ambassador, straight - muslims.israel'si ambassador, straight after muslims. that was israel's - ambassador, straight after that iran spoke, the ambassador to the united nations accusing israel and the united states of double standards. spread disinformation and engage in a destructive blame game. respond to the fundamental principle of international long, the believability of diplomatic representative premises moreover they ignored the underlying root causes of the current situation in the region. for causes of the current situation in the region-— causes of the current situation in the reuion. ., ., , ., , ., the region. for our six months and outcome of — the region. for our six months and outcome of these _ the region. for our six months and outcome of these countries - outcome of these countries especially the united states have shielded israel from any responsibility for the gaza massacre. while they have denied iran inherent right to self—defense against the israeli armed attack on our diplomatic premises, at

we need to help israel. if ukraine, we need to help taiwan, and we need to secure our own borders, the world is under attack, and we all have a responsibility in an obligation to get this done >> is it possible fabian heights that iran has just done ukraine a favourite tonight that this might be the event that gets that aid package across the finish line >> well, i would say that depends on the and internal politics and the n's i would say that ukraine is actually made similar experiences to israel. and the way that i'm american made western-made air and missile defenses have turned out to be quite formidable, but i'm russian threat what ukraine is also shown this, that you need the numbers and the stockpiles that are available in the west are not endless. and the wrapping up production takes a lot of time so i guess now the big question is, where as america lawyer global commitments, what do you prioritize and how assign the arsenal that you, that you have no question, maybe in hi, thanks so much for joinin

they told israel, don't go and retaliate. israel is going to do what israel has to do. rabbi i wonder you've just, completed shabbat, i wonder on friday night, as you sat down in for a shabbat dinner, what the conversation is like for israelis, for those of us, for those of us who are not israelis, those of us who are not jewish, how do you how do people feel with, given what israel has gone through for the last six months? and i know it's a lot longer, but for that but just the extraordinary trials of the last six months and now this, what were people talking about on friday night, friday, we knew that there was a threat, that something may happen. so around the shabbat tables all around the world was the following. number one, we're praying for the hostages. number two, there's frustration in jewish people all around the world. why hasn't america put pressure on egypt? get the millions of refugees that need a place to run out. just get them out the moment they're out of gaza, israel can finish the job in two weeks. boom. it's over, for the world wants hamas. so we pra

attack on israel from their soil.e was officials confirming iran fired ballistic cruise missiles at israel in addition to attack drones. we saw a lot of drones and we still see them russia using them against iranians. this is in retaliation perspective israeli attack on iran's consulate in syria last week, israel doesn't think it's a consulate, drones and missiles, or details in a moment i sirens sound off in jerusalem with explosions hard in the skies. let's get our team fired up. let's check in and tel aviv with trey yingst, what is the latest? >> israel's security cabinet held a meeting tonight and voted to give power to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the country's defense minister and an additional cabinet member to decide how israel will respond to this unprecedented attack. dozens of drones and missiles fired into the country, military says majority of them were intercepted outside and israeli airspace but those who put pass air defense systems slamming into israel soil, some images are quite shocki

the people of israel.nue to fulfil this mission. ambassador to the un from israel has said in a letter to the security council, this is part of a dangerous trend of deterioration and the gravity and volume of the attacks are unprecedented and a fragrant invasion of the un security council resolution. antonio guterres said that he called for an immediate cessation of hostilities. we have been talking through that the course of the night and what is the country well — just waking up to, james lansdale?_ just waking up to, james lansdale? , . ., ~ , ., lansdale? they are waking up to an uneasy _ lansdale? they are waking up to an uneasy dawn, _ lansdale? they are waking up to an uneasy dawn, in _ lansdale? they are waking up to an uneasy dawn, in israel, - an uneasy dawn, in israel, lighting up the capital city, jerusalem, and waking up to the reality that in the first time many can remember, israel has been subject to a direct attack by its long—term flow, iran. for many many years there has been a conflict

israel. it was not carried out by and aircraft. that we can confirm it did take place on the day of the supreme leader birthday. i think that's notable. they were sending a message by targeting the area in isfahan province which everybody knows that is where the nuclear facility is located. we have no indication that the facility was either the target or was struck in this missile strike. but it is a message to iran that after saturday night, crossing that redline and striking inside israel that israel would respond. they were capable of responding and this was a limited strike. it is designed not to escalate tensions, not to launch a war in the middle east. that is something that u.s. central command, u.s. military as well as the white house has been trying to avoid. the military was not involved in these strikes. we know that from reporting from our own jackie heinrich at the white house. the white house was given advanced notice within the last 24 to 48 hours that israel did plan to strike

over israel?d not support a strike against iran well the. >> problem with that is that israel has proven itself perfectly willing and capable of doing unilateral strikes without us support. that said, it has been the common thinking that israel would need some sort of refueling if it were to to do a direct attack on iran of any sort of sustained sort. the problem also is that israel's deterrence has been in the past. if someone's strikes, israel, it strikes back twice as hard. i had israeli officials and middle east officials laying that to me as they were watching what was unfolding in gaza, that after the hamas attacks of october 7 israel felt the need to message the middle east writ large. that this cannot happen again. and to make them feel pain so that's what's going on in the war cabinet in israel. the decision to strike now, or strike covertly later now that iran has crossed this divide and attacked openly something it has isn't done before, though this shadow war is out in public, and that

what is the payload and can israel shoot them down >> i know there are bunkers in israel. has there been any expression from the government asking citizens, israeli citizens to seek shelter and find bunkers for safety? >> that is a great question. so far, the is really home defense system has told people to be aware. they have closed all schools tomorrow they have told people not to gather in more than 1000 people in one place, at one time. that is about it. there have not been any alarms that we have heard but i guess the rockets are not close enough yet. they will come. there has been no significant move by the government to tell the people, go in your shelters. people here have not yet to be told to go into the shelters. i'm sure they will be soon but it has not happened yet. as i mentioned early, as every israeli home is supposed to have some type of safe room. i must correct myself. there are many villages, especially air villages from israeli arab that do not have any security rooms in their homes. local arabs are more honorable than jews, to put it crassly. each hou

israel. i'm christiane, amanpour in london alongside my colleague alex marquardt in washington. and we're learning more about iran is unprecedented attack on israel this morning, iran says it targeted the base. israel used to strike the iranian consulate in damascus the idf says more than 300 missiles house and drones were fired in yesterday's attack the majority were fired from iran itself, but some were launched from iraq. and yemen. only a few were able to peers the defense's hitting an air base in southern israel causing minor damage. and there are no reports of major injuries or deaths suffered directly from the strikes. israel says, the us, britain, and france also acted during the strikes. us forces intercepted more than 70 one-way attack drones and at least three ballistic missiles, according to two, us officials familiar with the matter. and this morning, tehran says the matter has brought concluded it won't the united states and israel against any future attacks. but israel's forces

the state of israel. and i also understand the need for israel to maintain strategic deterrence. iran needs to know there will be serious consequences if it attempts to harm israel. deterrence serves to prevent expansion of conflict. but i also understand the massive consequences of israel and iran descending into a broader war and what that would mean for the united states and the rest of the entire world. an expanded israel-iran war would distract from the ongoing conflict in gaza, a conflict that must end, while assuring the elimination of hamas' military capabilities. we still have the challenges that we must get and must free the hostages remaining in gaza and achieve a humanitarian ceasefire. famine and the current humanitarian catastrophe must be reversed at all costs. and there must be a realistic plan for the future governance and reconstruction of gaza. one that results in palestinian control of the strip. an expanded israel-iran war could also serve to drag the united states of america deeper i

israel. but some growing criticism of president biden's handling of does it turn the tide and our fears of a wider war shipping attention away from israel's continue to saw on the palestinian. we'll ask the renown economist and director of columbia university center for sustainable development is we've headliner, jeffrey sachs, the thank you so much for joining us and upfront. great to be with you. on april 13th, you're on launched more than $300.00 drones and missiles towards israel following a deadly is really attack on the iranian consulate in damascus. it's the 1st time iran has directly attacked israel, while israel's weighing how it's going to respond to around to attack and global leaders. at the same time, we're saying, hey, you need some restraint here. the us said that it wants to see these tensions deescalate. and that it wouldn't join is really in any military retaliation against your one question. for me is the us doing enough though to restrain israel? probably not at some level

israel. run�*s revolutionary guard against israel. run's revolutionary guard has confirmed the attack was in part response a deadly israeli air strike that destroyed and are running in syria earlier this month. here is what we know about the situation in israel at the moment. israel's military says it is not advising any residence to take shelter, revising an earlier alert. efavirenz sounded in multiple locations in israel. we also know that there are explosions overjerusalem according to witnesses and israeli media day that they are from aerial interceptions. israel's defence forces say that one girl has been injured and that light damage was caused to a military base. we do not have details of which are based. the idea's spokesman says the ten—year—old girl injured from falling debris has been treated by paramedics. we can take a look at the international response to the attack. israel calling for a united nations security council meeting tomorrow, sunday, in new york. the ambassador to the

to attack tonight in israel? >> one would hope it is not a city attack. and 100 some odd drones. that's a long flight time. they are vulnerable to being shot down. israeli f35s . i wouldn't expect many of those some odd 100 drones are going to get through. if they did hit a civilian target, if they go after idf targets in the middle of urban areas, they will kill israeli civilians but again, i don't think catastrophic loss of lifel in israel is a triggering function. it's the nature of this attack. they simply nhave to respond t iran. this can't be the new normal to have israel live under this level of ballistic missile threat. >> given what has been happening the last six months with israel, more and more isolated, losing arab allies they had. the saudis and others who had been considering normalization put on their back feet and not willing to do anything until a total withdrawal from gaza. and a two-state solution. at least on the horizon. so given all of that, where do you see any kind of future for this regi

aerial assaults we will support israel. >> we >> will defend israel. how will biden handle this crucial test on the global stage? his key ally senator chris, joins me. and what now with tensions in the region's soaring out of control, fears of a larger conflict in the middle east are now front and center can further escalation be avoided? our panel breaks down what to watch next >> he's cnn's breaking news >> hello, i'm jake tapper in washington with a special live, expanded edition in a state of the union where the state of our union is bracing for what comes next. new out of the middle east >> president >> biden is meeting virtually today with g7 your ears as israel's war cabinet has been gathering to deciding how to respond to iran is unprecedented overnight assault. a member of that war cabinet, benny gantz on saying israel will quote exact a price from iran in a way and time. and that suits us on iran last night fired around 170 attack drones, more than 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles over the course of five hours from ira

is israel. you tell us what you want. we stand with you, iron clad and ship the money your way. that's an impossible policy. all you do, if you're a big power like the united states and you tell it another country that's dependent on you, you chose everything. all you do was invite the craziest kind of crazy is kind of extremism because they say we got the us. so we manipulate the u. s. b, b, things the wrong has been us. and did you know, as we said, he's got some evidence on his side. up until now, do you want us to put some clear markers on this? we have a policy, we don't want to divide with the rest of the world. we don't want it to be 2 countries, israel and the united states, against the other $191.00 countries. we have some basic standards based on the un charter. once israel here is that things will change, but that's a big change from now because the current policy is israel. you tell us what you need or what you want. we back to if it's x, thanks so much enjoyment upfront. great. the

and the people of israel. we will continue to fulfill this mission. the white house is monitoring the situation closely. president biden has been in contact with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. president biden releasing a statement late on saturday night which said in part, quote, at my direction, to support the defense of israel, the us military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region over the course of the past week, thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our service members, we helped israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles. the big question now is how will israel react and will that reaction include military action? for the very latest, let's turn to fox news correspondent stephanie bennett, who is live in london. hello, stephanie. hey, jonathan. yeah, as well as president biden, we're also taking a deeper look at how other world leaders are reacting to the situation as more than 300 drones and missiles were intercepted by

tempers are running high in pakistan over israel's onslot in gaza. in dramatic incident a kfc restaurant in pakistan administrated kashmir was setably. during an anti-us israel protest, following the incident, police detained over 50 individuals who were accused of attacking the restaurant in the mirpur district, we do not support the burning of kfc, but we want to boycot it as it is in support of genocide, we stand with boycott and we do bycott, we don't not want them, we just want them not to fund israel and help them in their genocide. the arson comes as us israeli genocide in gaza shows no signs of abating. the regime's attacks on all areas of the besieg territory, including hospitals, schools and aid convoys continue. we are already seeing the... impact on the economy, on the financial decline of mcdonald's and baycott, it's huge, even in some countries, in arab countries, those outlets are being closed because nobody is buying it, the ongoing genocide in gaza has fueled anger and frustration among people worldwide, prompting calls for boyots ag

following such a massive and direct attack on israel, the entire world, let alone israel, cannot settlewill defend our future. iran's ambassador to the un told the meeting that its actions, which were in retaliation for a deadly air strike on its consulate in syria, werejustified. these countries, especially the united states, have shielded israel from any responsibility for the gaza massacre, while they have denied iran inherent right to self—defence against the israeli armed attack on our diplomatic premises. amid rising tensions, the attacks have received widespread international condemnation. the scale and nature of iran's heinous assault, the first direct attack from iran on israeli soil, poses grave risks to the security and stability of citizens across the middle east. now world leaders are pressing for de—escalation in a bid for calm in the region. we have a shared responsibility to work for peace. regional and indeed global peace and security are being undermined. all eyes are on israel and how it responds. yolande knell, bbc news. israel and its staunchest allies say the irani
